  1. I wouldn’t call any of the players Atlanta and the Dodgers picked up to be anything great. You add sometimes to get better than what you have..
  2. Did not say anything was right or wrong to spend into tax on draft picks or not to. If there is a problem with not doing it, as the article seems to imply there ought to be something to back it. Logically it would seem that it would pay off, but if drafting and outcomes were easy to figure out Ober would not have been drafted so late.
  3. Yup, they went over slot. Still doesn’t show that it is of value to do so. Logically the better the player the better chance, but there hasn’t been proof it is of value
  4. Bonus pools started about 2012 the Twins have gone over slot value on a lot of players.
  5. I quit reading one he brought up Brent Rooker and touting his All Star status. So from that I would gather that the Twins should trade Larnach to as horrible of team as possible because somebody has to be the team representative.
  6. Did not read the comments. Somebody must remember the Rod Carew trade.
  7. Lopez was right for a half of a season of a nine year career. .
  8. Who is in St Paul that has not been in MLB. Funderburk Prato Bechtold Carmargo Helman Williams If they take a fixer upper SWR Miranda Martin One out of the first group, one out of the second and lower minor lottery tickets, likely to be pitchers.. I would also suspect it would take 2 of the first list, especially if they can offload one of their underperforming corner outfielders.
  9. OK, back of the bullpen is set with Pagan and Floro. Now they need a couple of 8th inning guys.
  10. Well, I hope they learned not to trade for a player having a career year on a terrible team.
  11. Jimmenez got 89 AB in complex games shots can be small His was from an air rifle. 31% k rate
  12. Career OPS away from Camden Yards .715. That is not a good sign
  13. Gallo and Kepler are not young. Gallo has no value except as a DFA where the Twins pick up his contract and the Twins get a 24 year old reliever in A ball. ,25,26 are not young in terms of baseball. In mlb experience they are young. I think pretty much any team has these players in their system. An unmet ceiling, a hole here and there in their game. The only one of value really would be Wallner for a bat if it stays hot and a contender wants a bat. The return would be the same as a rental. So the question becomes are the Wichita outfielders wood enough to play? Don’t. Know
  14. Like the Twins with left handed outfielders, it is not a logjam as much as it is a pile of branches.
  15. Rental relief pitchers really shouldn’t count. People can name rental relievers, but forget that the cost was minimal
  16. There always seems to be a crazy team. A one year rebound still should raise a red flag. What team other than the Twins would do something like that. Maybe the Angels or the Yankees. A 3 year contract is even a risk. He got big money from the Dodgers and tanked. This is a contract year. I don’t think anyone should go more than a year with him. Don’t know what the makeup of Berlinger is. He could be great for another 5-6 years if he has the drive to do that
  17. It is the front office philosophy on how the game is played and taught. Manager isn’t going to change much if the philosophy of the front office doesn’t.
  18. Since a trade of Ryan would mean that either you don’t see him having a future or you-do not see this team as constructed having a future. Going with the latter the Twins trade Pablo Lopez, ,Sonny Gray, Ryan, and Julian to St Louis for Hence, their last 3 first round draft picks, as well as the rest of their top 10 picks from this year. The Twins would have included the other Lopez and Pagan to bolster the Cardinal bullpen but St. Louis wanted half their draft class back
  19. He may have led the position player for most of the season. He may finish in the top 5 of position players at the end of the season. It does not change probable regression. It does not change that at a less than 2 war season he would be viewed as a useful player but not an essential. This is his ceiling.
